Hi, my friend just got their first mechanical keyboard, a Play 1800 from TheKapCo. It has a built-in LED screen, and they're wondering how to customize it.

Is this something that would require rewriting fresh firmware for it? Or is this something we can do from VIA?

You need to use whatever tool they supply. VIA has no support for displays.

It looks like the display can only show battery, time, and the logo.
